How UK Trans Parents Are Stuck in ‘Discriminatory’ Legal Limbo | Transnational

Freddy McConnell investigates access to fertility and pregnancy care for trans folks in the UK, the need for trans parents to be accurately affirmed in healthcare and on official documents, and the joy of starting a family despite the obstacles. This episode was filmed in 2022. The overall picture for trans people in the UK remains the same. Since filming, Katie and Chris have welcomed their child and are doing well. They plan to pursue fresh legal action, to help secure legal recognition and protection for families like theirs. Freddy’s court case is ongoing, despite a negative ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in April 2023. This decision dashes hopes of pan-European trans parental recognition. However, progress is being made for families in individual countries, like Sweden, Iceland, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands and Israel. https://bit.ly/3S6Y2zC Help keep VICE News’ fearless reporting free for millions by making a one-time or ongoing contribution here. - https://bit.ly/3oRyDu8 Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Check out VICE News for more: https://bit.ly/2HR9kGq Follow VICE News here: TikTok: https://bit.ly/3yIIbvH Facebook: https://bit.ly/36oafb0 Twitter: https://twitter.com/vicenews Instagram: https://bit.ly/2VvVaxT More videos from the VICE network: https://bit.ly/3fWNVrZ Follow VICE World News here: TikTok: https://bit.ly/3q0n04f Twitch: https://bit.ly/3FdZqZ0 Facebook: https://bit.ly/3cAK6vk Twitter: https://twitter.com/VICEWorldNews Instagram: https://bit.ly/3cCOr13 #VICENews #News
